Staff email group

The DN is blank?
I will try this later today when I can restart the service without too many folks being around.

No, that is one line

Code: Select all

DN=CN=sxadmin

ie, the DN is CN=sxadmin.

Restarting ldapmapper shouldn't cause anything bad to happen. If it doesn't work with the config file you create just rename the file and restart again.

In case anyone else wanted to do something similar, here's what I wanted to do and how I got it working.

We extensively use groups internally but I didn't want them to receive mail from external sources. The spam filter in front of Scalix was doing a valiant job filtering the rubbish out but occassionally it would let one slip through to a group email address. Long story short, I couldn't block email to specific recipients at the spam filter. Thanks to previous posts I worked out how to do this in Scalix. To apply this to all public distribution groups I run this script:

Code: Select all

omshowpdl -l all | while read line; do
        echo Removing default ACI for "$line"...
        omdelaci -l "$line" -g default

        echo Adding local ACI read for "$line"...
        omaddaci -l "$line" -g local -c read

        echo Showing ACI capabilities "$line"...
        omshowaci -l "$line"
        echo
done


Seems to work nicely. Would there be any unexpected side effects caused by this? Is there a better way to do this? Are there default ACIs that can be applied when new PDLs are created? That would obviate the need to run this script. I could schedule it to run regularly but I prefer things to be executed as required.

Cheers,
Cameron
